Not painted much in the way of LotR models of late, although I have assembled and primed quite a few recently. I do need to knuckle down and get my 2008 GT armies fully finished, currently standing good about 1/3rd fully finished and my Evil army is all undercoated black and that is it. I will post some pictures of the new models, some of which have had some serious conversion done to them, in due course.
I have been painting models though, I recently started playing Warmachine and have painted up about a dozen or so models so far, with around another dozen started. I will post a link when I have finished the next batch and taken some pictures of them.

What WM force are you doing Tony? I've got my eyes on some Cryx that a guy at my local store is willing to sell me cheap, so hopefully I'll have them soon. My thoughts are also on the GT however....luckily I only have a WK on Fellbeast and a few Warriors to paint for my Evil army, although my Good army is from scratch....

I have a Protectorate of Menoth force mate. I liked the look of some of the models and as the two people who I will game against have either Cygnar or Khador forces made the decision quite easy for me.
I did like the look of some of the Cryx models truth be told, but I preferred Menoth more TBH. I have a Light War Jack that is nearly finished, 6 Choir that are undercoated, a couple of Mercs part done and the Harbinger sat sub assembled primed and ready to go.
I got into the game pretty quickly and find it is an enjoyable game, so if you get the the opportunity to get a force cheap then go for it mate, as you will enjoy the game.
Although I still need some more Menoth modedls, mainly units, I have my eyes turned towards Hordes now and some really cool Circle Orborous models, very cool indeed. And the good part is that you can play WM and Hordes together, so its not as if you have two different systems. ;D

Oh Champ I forgot to mention, Wargames Emporium, a wargame business based in Sheffield are on about starting some mini WM tourneys in the new year. That might be of interest to you as you are only just up the road from Sheffield and I am only about 10 miles south myself. And they sell pre-owned models at decent prices too.
Wargames Emporium currently have a gaming centre near to Meadowhall but they are moving it nearer Sheffield city centre just after Christmas, it will be easy to get to though, no more than 10 mins walk from the city centre, I will let you know a bit more when they decide what they are going to do.

I know all about WE, thats where all the local gamers round my area go for their WM models! Brilliant store, although I've only been to the Meadowhell park store, but I'm planning on heading to the one in the centre of Sheffield this weekend. If I get paid a decent amount this week, I might pick up either one of the Light Jacks or one of the Warcasters. And on the note of preowned models-the reason for me to head here this weekend is to hopefully flog some 2nd edition 40k Orks! *champ, still thinks everyone in the Sheffield area should come to game against him at Donny because he can't be @rsed to go anywhere

Where are you guys when it comes time to chat on T40K? I have been posting stuff there for nearly a year. I got barely a bite, now I see some "chatty Kathy's" here.
Anyway, I started with Cryx a few years ago and still play them. I have a bunch of stuff. I started the Cricle in Hordes, but moved to the Trollkin. I needed something different than Cryx. I got it nicely painted for me also. I still have Kaya and two Argus for the Circle, but decided to stay with one faction each as I don't play that often.

Do you know I do not ever recall seeing the Warmachine board on T40K, I just probably ignored them to be honest as I have only been playing WM for around 6 weeks or so.
I am still building up my Menoth force, slowly it has to be said, I have four more blisters of Acolytes on oder From WE to bulk up my current two Choir units, and to start to build one more Choir unit, and a pack of Wracks for good measure. I am now contemplating what my next purchases will be, Knight Exemplar and Exemplar Errant I think, then onto the Vengers.
I will also be getting Hordes rule book and a Circle Warp Pack next Monday as Wargames Emp are coming over to COGS with a small selection of goodies to sell, and my preferences and model selections are well known to the owner of WE, the hard part will be paying for them.
